MAGGIORE<br />
E VALLI<br />
Where nature reigns supreme<br />
THE RIVER DELTA AND THE BOTANICAL GARDEN:<br />
IN GAMBAROGNO THERE ARE TWO MARVELLOUS OASES.<br />
Reed beds, oxbow lakes, tarns and lowland forests: the<br />
“Bolle di Magadino” nature reserve is one of the last natural river<br />
deltas in Switzerland, with European importance. Where the<br />
Verzasca and the <strong>Ticino</strong> flow into Lake Maggiore the micro-climate<br />
has created a habitat for more than 240 types of migratory birds,<br />
marshland birds and herons.<br />
MAGNOLIAS AND CAMELIAS<br />
GALORE<br />
Gambarogno is rich in nature. It stretches along the northeastern<br />
shore of Lake Maggiore: a mountainous region, less beautiful<br />
and luxuriant than the opposite shore, yet it has wild hiking<br />
trails and the warm yellow of the setting sun. There is also the<br />
second oasis in the area: the 17’000 square metres of the botanical<br />
garden of Gambarogno which belongs to the nursery gardener Otto<br />
Eisenhut. 950 different types of camelias and 350 varieties of magnolia<br />
bloom amid countless other plants, making it an unrivalled<br />
natural paradise.<br />
